Clasica Ciclista San Sebastian - Race Overview

An aggressive ORICA-GreenEDGE outfit controlled much of the day’s racing at the Clasica Ciclista San Sebastian this afternoon, an unfortunate crash to Adam Yates in the final kilometers denying the team a worthy result.

Yates, coming off his win at the GP Industria and Artigianato last weekend, was in a lead group of five riders over the final classified climb before crashing heavily on the descent with 3.5km left to ride. The British neo-pro suffered a hit to the chin that will require stitches.

Alejandro Valverde (MOV) went on to win solo whilst ORICA-GreenEDGE’s top finisher was Jens Keukeleire in 24th position.

“To some degree we had control of the race all throughout the day,” sport director Neil Stephens said.
